@pscentral event 39: pride

"When you’re in a fight as bitter and as important as this one, against an enemy, so much bigger, so much stronger than you - well. To find out that you have a friend you never knew existed - It’s the best thing in the world."

Pride (2014) dir. Matthew Warchus

So @cosmic-llin and I were rewatching Shetland series 1 this evening, and spotted something!

The house where the Haldane family live (Shetland 1x01) is also...

RUTH CALDER'S HOUSE! (Shetland 10x06)

[walkthegale]

I now have a new addition to this post, via my very own photos taken by my very own self... RUTH CALDER'S HOUSE! We went there! And we saw it! And tried not to look like total weirdos photographing a random house from the end of the driveway! But anyway, it's a gorgeous house in a stunning location, no wonder they chose it for filming, and I am so happy about having been there!

It is, it turns out, in Whiteness in Tingwall!

Look how cute she is!!!! Ashley Jensen got an umbrella between takes, presumably to protect her hair, but poor Steven Robertson just had to hang about in the rain, and occasionally the crew would brush water off his shoulders. 😂

So here's a big thing that happened on our Shetland holiday! The BBC were filming at the same time as we were there! We hadn't timed the trip to coincide, it just ended up happening, and we spotted that there were going to be road closures in Lerwick on one of the days and, well... WE SAW RUTH AND SANDY FILMING A SCENE! It was an absolute joy! Really cool to watch, and both Ashley Jensen and Steven Robertson waved and grinned at the little huddle of people watching! And one of the local fixers came over and had a chat with us and was really lovely! (Ashley Jensen also waved directly at us specifically at one point and I nearly fell over on the spot.)

Also reblogging for bonus Billy, because I couldn't decide whether to include his reaction but it made me laugh:

Blorbo from my shows? Haha. WRONG. Blorbo from a single serial of Classic Who who's never turned up again since.

The narrated title sequences for Babylon 5 each fuck severely, but I'd forgotten how good Season 3's was.

"The Babylon Project was our last best hope for peace. It failed."

I got 60 out of 1000 😂

1000 Books You May Have Actually Read

Based on the number of ratings each book has on Goodreads. And if you haven't read them, maybe you can use for a literature bucket list.

[tinyasafirefly]

Anyone who says they’ve read all 1000 is a liar because one of them is a huge cookbook and no one is actively joy reading that.

[mbrainspaz]

with some of these it’s like “fuck, I did read that,” and with some it’s like “Oh fuck, I did read that.”

I got 99, but I counted a few that I had only mostly-read before deciding I didn’t like them and never finishing them.
